Lair and Lair Actions
The Abandoned Keep of Grandir
Once an outpost for soldiers, this abandoned keep now serves as the base of operations for the Clockwork King. It is a keep with four towers and large stone walls, with an imposing frontal gate. Though weathered by time, the keep's stone is a solid as the day it was made. Clockwork ballista have been erected atop the walls, and knights silently watch from the towers for outsiders and intruders. The lair features a main hall, barracks for soldiers and agents, a grand dining hall that has been converted into a large room for Cantras' many experiments, Cantras' throne room, and a jail below the keep, repurposed into a dungeon and torture chamber for the captured magic users that the Clockwork King has found.
The Special Anti-Magic Field
Through the torture and kidnapping of many magic users, Cantras was able to create a way to make sure his keep was free of magic. Machines he engineered from Eberron using knowledge of his own body. There are four conduits, one in each of the keep's towers, that power an anti-magic field that affects the entire keep, save for a single room in the middle of the dungeon. The field that these conduits creates stops all magic as an Anti-Magic Field spell would. However, these special anti-magic fields do not act on the magic holding Cantras' body together. These conduits also affect some of Cantras' actions. The conduits can be destroyed and the anti-magic effect in the keep can be disabled. Each conduit is a medium construct with an AC of 15 and 50 HP, and each one is guarded by at least one of Cantras' knights.
Lair Actions: On initiative Count 20 (losing initiative ties) Cantras may take one of the following actions to cause the following effects. The same action can't be taken two turns in a row.
- Call for Reinforcements (4/day) If alone on the battlefield, Cantras summons two of his knights from the barracks.
- Fire Clockwork Ballista. Cantras activates one of the many ballista that line the inside and outside walls of his keep. Cantras picks a spot he can see within 60 ftof him. Each creature within 20 ft of that spot must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 17 (5d6) bludgeoning damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a success.
- Warcry. Cantras shrieks in primal rage, echoing a cry around the chamber. Each enemy creature within 15 ft of Cantras must succeed a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or gain disadvantage on any attacks made on Cantras for the remainder of that turn.
